  • Removable mask for coating a substrate
    Patent number: 9790598
    Abstract: A system and a method for selectively coating a substrate includes a removable mask including a magnetic member having a first surface contour shaped to conform to the outside surface of the substrate and a magnetizable member having a second surface contour shaped to conform to the inside surface of the substrate. The method for coating the substrate includes magnetically coupling a removable mask to at least one surface of the substrate; forming a coating of a coating material on the at least one surface of the substrate with the magnetically coupled removable mask using a bath containing the coating material; and selectively decoupling the removable mask from the at least one coated surface to reveal a portion of the coated surface without the coating.
